Deus Ex’s Adam Jensen was Originally Far Cry 3's Jason Brody

Proving that playing a memorable character can be both a blessing and a curse, Deus Ex: Human Revolution voice actor Elias Toufexis spent two years recording dialogue for Far Cry 3 protagonist Jason Brody before he was pulled from the project.

“I played him for two years, " explained Toufexis. "Did the voice and when Deus Ex came out they replaced me because they were nervous that… ‘we don’t want people playing this game and thinking of another game.’

“It’s justifiable,” he added, “it’s understandable, but my normal voice is what I used for that character too. So now it’s like I’m losing work because Jensen is so popular.”
